Yes , someone is working on an engine that will get us to Jupiter in less than a year the engine is now a proven technoligy as of June 2009 its called vasimir i think . anyway it is a plasma propelled rocket
Even advanced technology cannot give a gaseous planet a solid surface to land on.
YES.because the same way we use technology to test things is the same way we can find life on other planets..such as rovers,probes,spaceships(etc.)
Yes, why not.
Because they are like other life planets they might be able to produce more life when Earth explodes.
We are able to see the Moon, other Planets and even the Sun. The Sun make this possible through its light, even at night. With the help of a powerful telescope we are able to see distant galaxies, distant stars that don't exist anymore, we are seeing only its light which is still travelling.
before the teloscope was invented what were ancient astronomers able to learn about the planets ?
no, sound cannot travel to the vacuum of space
They are generally used to get closer to bodies in our solarsystem, such as planets, comets, moons of other planets and other objects. They are able to fly close to or even land on these, and take photos and atmospheric readings. This data it then sent back to earth to find out much more information.
Potentially yes. We do not have the technology to get people out very far (maybe as far as Mars at present, but even that's debateable), but in theory we would be able to visit extra-solar planets as technology improves in the future.

Some people believe that spaceships from other planets have visited Earth, but no one has ever been able to prove it.
We can see mars and other planets at night as it is very dark.
because if the planets were close enough to each other to be able to have a gravitational pull strong enough to share rings, the planets would ultimately collide
As far as I can imagine, No. Astronauts and space shuttles are tiny with respect to the planets. Mostly,space shuttles are in between two orbits. To observe planets revolving around the sun, you need to be very far away (so that you can see this view. Think of this: If you are standing in the middle of the track of a gigantic circular race track,would you be able to see all the cars moving around the race track? No. You would just be able to see the cars zooming in front of you. And it would appear as though the cars are moving straight. You would only be able to see all the cars moving round the enormous track if you were on a helicopter, or sitting on a seat high above the track. This is exactly the same thing with the planets. You can't see them all revolve unless you are really far away.And, astronauts don't go that far out.
Astronauts were able to conduct experiments when working in the space station. One of the space stations that was launched was the Skylab in 1973.
Like our Moon, other planets can also reflect light from our Sun.
Pioneer 11 carried out the first flyby of Saturn in September 1979, when it passed within 20,000 km of the planet. This was followed by a visit of Voyager I (1980) and Cassini-Huygens space probe (2004).
is there life other than ours? are there any other earth like planets in the universe

You can't go to any other planet. One day astronuats might be able to, but for now you should stick to earth. The only other place man has gone is the moon. NASA has sent robots to Mars to look for forms of life and to check the place out.
